That sound of crying and howling is a mixture of sorrow and joy, with tears pouring down.
Everyone inside and outside the hall who knew the true relationship between 'Ashiheng' and this family seemed to have been cast a restraining spell.
Only Zhong Ruochen, who was guarding the hall and did not dare to move, suddenly clenched his hands and fingers and secretly bit his lower lip.
Butler Li, who ran down the steps, wiped his tears and cried in mourning again, stamping his feet to announce the good news, "Master, madam, the young master has passed the exam!"
Wen Jianhui's voice trembled with surprise, and she said in disbelief: "Old Li, are you sure you really passed the exam, right?"
Butler Li burst into tears and said, "That's right, I really passed the exam!"
Zhong Yuanwai, whose Adam's apple was twitching, asked immediately, "How is your ranking on the tribute list?"
This question was a bit over the top. I didn’t believe I could pass the exam before, but now I am sure I have. Naturally, I remembered Qi San’s good news.
"Okay! Great! There's nothing better than this. It's so good!" Butler Li was so excited again that he stumbled and fell to the ground, completely ignoring his own image. Selflessly, he slapped his hands on the ground and said, "Huiyuan! Master, madam, the young master has passed the Huiyuan examination. He is a Huiyuan with perfect marks in all four subjects!"
Those who are not real scholars don’t know much about this. Even those who are present cannot understand how powerful this perfect score is. It is something that most scholars have never seen in their lives, and the people they usually interact with have no idea at all. He would talk about this kind of thing, but Huiyuan knew it, and knew that Huiyuan was the number one in the test!
Because they don't know clearly, it doesn't matter whether they get a perfect score or not. For them, as long as they can take the first place in the test, the so-called perfect score is just the icing on the cake. They are more interested in the title of 'Huiyuan'!
Even if Butler Li went to look at the results himself, he only heard passers-by say that Huiyuan, who had perfect scores in all four subjects, was very good. He didn't know exactly what he was so good at, and he couldn't calmly ask around. Once the results were confirmed, I thanked God and ran back wiping my tears.
Outside the court, only Zhong Ruochen was still standing in the hall listening. It can be said that he is the only one in the family who likes to read. Basically, it can be said that he is the only one in the family who knows a few tricks. I heard that he got perfect marks in the four subjects. She was really shocked that she won the title of this year's conference!
She began to feel inexplicably nervous. She didn't know what kind of person the future husband she had never met was. How talented and unique a person who could get the Huiyuan with perfect scores in four subjects must be!
Inexplicably, she felt a little ashamed of herself. She felt that she might not be worthy of her, and she didn't know if others would be able to see her, a woman from a merchant family who was full of copper odor.
Her family didn't think so and couldn't understand it. The word "Huiyuan" was enough to make them ecstatic, which to a certain extent was superficial.
Mr. Zhong's face was already glowing with excitement. He quickly walked down the steps and helped the housekeeper up. "Since it's a big happy event, don't cry. Think about it again. Are you dazzled? Don't do it. It’s all joy.”
If 'Ashi Heng' has always had good grades, it would be fine. If he said he had passed the exam, no one here would have doubted it, let alone confirmed it again and again. It was really someone who had not been sure of being on the exam before, and suddenly said he had passed the exam. , and also said that if he passed the Huiyuan exam, he still had a perfect score of Huiyuan, which was a bit exaggerated, so he had to confirm it repeatedly.
Butler Li immediately looked like he was about to swear to God and said: "Master, that's right, it's absolutely not wrong. The young master's name is in the most conspicuous place on the tribute list, and he alone takes the top spot at the top of the tribute list. Other names are as big as fists. , only the young master’s name is in characters as big as the basin, and people around him can see it clearly, so there is no mistake!” He was gesturing at the font with his hands, still very excited, and his nose had not been wiped dry.
It’s already been said so clearly, bang! Zhong Yuanwai suddenly slapped his fist, and he was finally able to let go. He was extremely excited, "What a boy! You really caught me by surprise!"
Fame and wealth are inevitable for many people.
In the past, it was inevitable to meet some so-called literati on some occasions. What did you think if they were poor? Even if someone is not richer than you, the airs they put up can still make you uncomfortable. You don't dare to lose your temper, otherwise it will appear that you have never read any books.
Now? He was a little happy thinking about it. He wanted to find someone to stimulate him when he had the chance to ask him how he did in the exams. Then he mentioned his son-in-law, but he would have to slap him in the face...
Du Fei, who was still calm on the side, suddenly waved his hand and waited for the irrelevant outsiders to retreat before speaking out: "If it's just to be on the list, that's it. An accident like this is unlikely to happen. This is It requires strength. It should be, maybe it’s not a surprise.”
Everyone who was happy looked at him immediately. Zhong Su stopped and asked him, "How do you say it?"
Du Fei: "His situation is also known to the outside world. Is it okay for him to make a big splash before he even arrives in the capital?"
As soon as these words came out, Butler Li was stunned and suddenly sobered up a lot.
Zhong Su also calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he understood the deeper meaning. He nodded and said, "That's right. It's not that he didn't do well in the exam before, but that he couldn't be in the limelight. It turns out that this kid was hiding his secrets until now and made a big splash! Come to think of it, , we are confused, he was trained by the boss, how could he be so unbearable! Fortunately..." Before he finished speaking, he glanced at his wife coldly, luckily he didn't let this woman do anything bad, otherwise she would regret it.
The three women in the hall and outside the hall couldn't understand what the three men were doing in riddles, but they all understood a little bit, because what they said was straightforward enough, that is, 'Ashiheng' is very talented and powerful. It's just that some reasons have been kept hidden.
As an old married couple, Wen Jianhui naturally understood her husband's eyes and felt a little guilty. But as long as her husband didn't tell her, it would be fine. If he did tell her, it would be her husband's fault. She couldn't win the argument. She is very confident.
She didn't care about it at this time. Her future son-in-law was Hui Yuan, which was enough to excite her for a long time. She already thought of a group of women who envied her.
"Wow, my brother-in-law is so awesome!" Wen Ruowei pulled her mother's sleeve and muttered. She heard her family say that her brother-in-law also played the legendary secret game. It was a very mysterious and high-level feeling for her. , which made her more and more excited until her eyes gleamed.
At this moment, the porter came running from outside again, "Sir, madam, people from the Liezhou Guild Hall are here, saying they are here to inform Mr. Grandpa about the palace examination and the good news!"
The whole family in the courtyard immediately looked at each other with joyful expressions. Now it was more and more unmistakable. Even the officials came to announce the good news and had already come to arrange the imperial examination.
"Well, please come to the front hall and ask someone to call Shiheng in the east courtyard." Zhong Su made arrangements in one sentence and strode away.
Du Fei and Butler Li followed closely.
Wen Jianhui immediately picked up her skirt and ran down the steps, running to catch up with her husband.
Zhong Su looked back and couldn't help but frown. How unbecoming a woman was running around with her skirt in hand? She yelled, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Wen Jianhui muttered, "I have never seen such a good news scene before, and this is the first time it has happened in my family."
The implication is that I want to see it.
For her, if she didn't know anything, how could she talk to those women later? When I asked back, I didn't know what to do. I had to tell some scenes that those women had never seen before.
Zhong Su didn't say much. The main point was that as the hostess of the Zhong Mansion, there was nothing wrong with showing up together.
On the other side, Wen Ruowei had already jumped into the hall, ran to grab his sister's arm and pulled it out, "Sister, let's go quickly."
Zhong Ruochen staggered and had no choice but to follow, asking, "Weiwei, what are you doing?"
Wen Ruowei pulled her hard, "Didn't you hear? The one with the good news is here. Come on, go and have a look."
Zhong Ruochen was shocked. How could she show her face in front of men outside without adult's permission? This was against everyone's rules for being a lady. What's more, she was getting married soon. It would be inappropriate for her husband's family to find out. She was afraid of being raped in the future. The husband took it lightly and quickly stopped and struggled: "No, I won't go."
"What a great opportunity. Don't you want to see what your brother-in-law looks like when he is admitted to Huiyuan? Don't you want to see how lively it is to announce the good news? Most people will never see this kind of scene once in a few lifetimes. It would be a pity to miss it. I know what you are afraid of. We won’t show up. We will hide in the back hall and take a sneak peek..."
Wen Ruowei tried hard to persuade her and dragged her sister away with her.
In fact, Zhong Ruochen was also a little moved by what she said. She wanted to see her future husband at this time, and he also wanted to see people...
In the living room, Zhong Su had regained his composure, but the faint joy in his brows could not go away, while Wen Jianhui acted like the mistress of a wealthy family, welcoming guests with a practiced smile, dignified and grand.
The guests from the Liezhou Guild Hall arrived quickly. There were nine of them in total. They were tall, short, fat and thin. They were all dressed like minor officials.
Nine people rushed in at once. They were not here to announce the good news. A bunch of people crowded in the door, as if they were forming a gang to fight.
I had no choice but to look at where 'Ashi Heng' lived, and I knew that the opportunity to make a fortune had arrived, not to mention that the owner would not be stingy about breaking the good news. Everyone wanted to grab it, and they all came together if they couldn't argue.
Zhong Su is an expert at receiving such people. He can tell who they are at a glance, but he is not upset. He is overjoyed and really happy.
"Executive member, Madam, the Zhong Mansion has really produced a noble man. Hui Yuan, who has passed all four subjects, is rare to see in a hundred years!"
"Yes, when we came here, we also heard from Master Fu, the envoy and messenger, that since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, there have only been two such figures, and Grandpa is the third one. The entire state has nothing to do with Yourong. Na!"
"Tsk, tsk, one perfect score will basically make you onto the tribute list. Four perfect scores, that's really amazing!"
"Presumably at this time, Mr. Grandpa's name and article have been placed on His Majesty's desk for royal viewing."
"With this wealth of knowledge, winning the imperial examination is a piece of cake. The number one scholar is within reach."
"It is said that the two Huiyuan scholars who got full marks in the exam later became the number one scholar without any surprise, and Mr. Grande is no exception."
"Does that need to be said? Which scholar in the world dares to dissent? The strength lies here!"
After the guests and hosts met and greeted each other, a group of glib guys began to praise the hotel with such praise that it was overwhelming.
But Zhong Su and others finally understood what it meant to have perfect scores in all four subjects.
It is simply not comparable to ordinary Huiyuan, it can even be said to be worlds apart.
Its influence is no longer limited to the results of an examination in the Jin Kingdom. The son-in-law of the Zhong family is afraid that his reputation will spread far beyond the Jin Kingdom and will truly become famous all over the world!
